Last night’s gunfight, says Alan Sepinwall, was "ultimately hollow, technical brilliance in service of little else. Even if the goal is to make the audience feel as surprised and disoriented as the cops under fire, there has to be some kind of hook into the whole thing beyond a group of new, anonymous characters indiscriminately killing everyone in sight.” PLUS: The entire scene (http://observer.com/2015/07/true-detective-2x04-recap-enough-with-this-monkey-fck/) was a perfect summation of Season 2, how are these cops so bad at their jobs (http://themuse.jezebel.com/true-detective-how-are-these-cops-so-bad-at-their-jobs-1717446195)?, and True Detective gets mashed up with Starsky & Hutch (http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/true-detective-meets-starsky-hutch-in-funky-credits-mash-up).
